Congatulations Gary, and thanks for making the content available to us. Your question « How do you mean what you read or say, or do? (Or does it all mean you?) » is indeed central. Just went through chpts 4 (meaning and modeling, modeling of meaning) and was kind of surprised not to find much on the Interpreter which is for me key relatively to meaning generation in the Peircean approach. Perhaps you could tell more on this ? You may remenber of a system/evolutionary modeling of meaning generation presented at Peirce-l years ago where meaning is generated by a system submitted to an internal constraint that has to be satisfied (like "stay alive" for animals, and "look for happiness" or "limit anxiety" for humans). There is now more on that subject in a book chapter ( http:/philpapers.org/rec/MENCOI). Regarding humans (your question), meaning generation remains a complex & difficult subject because performances like self-consciousness and free-will have to be taken into account. It is then necessary (I feel) to look at a possible nature of human mind to access the content of human constraints (introduced in book chapter).

You're invited to have a look by visiting the online launch site:http://gnusystems.ca/wp/That takes you to my newly recreated blog, intimologies, where you'll find links to the book itself, which is the fruit of a 15-year inquiry into the meaning of life (or as i prefer to call it, the ecology of meaning). You're welcome to read as far into it as you like, to bookmark it with your browser or add it to your reading list, even to pay for it when and if you feel that step is justified. As you might guess from the title, there’s plenty of Peircean semiotics in it, but it’s not intended as a contribution to Peirce scholarship; it’s more a cenoscopic essay. But you may find it interesting as a weaving of Peircean ideas (and texts) into that broader context. Anyway i hope you enjoy it, and thanks for your attention!
